But then I overextended.
A couple deals didn't go through.

'Cause this is gonna happen again.
You know that, right? I just don't understand why you think it's gonna change.
'Cause It's not.
What else we supposed to do? Well, you can't watch her all the time.
I can try.
You got no idea, Alvey.
You don't know.
I don't know what? What it's like to have nothing.
You don't think I know? No, I mean what it's truly like to have nothing.

You know, Nathaniel, I'd say we hit bottom.
But I had a great fight.
Everyone's alive.
We're together.
Got this bottle of Tequila.
By the pool.
I mean, on paper We look pretty goddamn good.
We're killing it.
Your toast.
Earlier.
It was hard for me to hear.
I'm sorry for having emotions.
No, it's, um I should've never let you take that fight.
I knew it was a mistake.
I should've stood up.
I should've said something.
You got to stop.
It's just that I had my head so far up my fucking ass from the weight cut and Laura I took my focus off of you.
I think you're right, though.
About Fresno.
It was a really big fucking mistake.
Might surprise you to learn I, too, have made a few mistakes.
Ahh.
Can I join you? Yeah, Mom.
Of course.
You okay? Hey.
What are you doing here? I came to drop off my key.
You could've left it at the gym.
Where have you been? Alvey, what's wrong? What's wrong? Chapas is dead.
What? He shot himself in the head right in front of me.
My gun.
Oh, my god.
Wh-where? Some fucking motel.
He owed a lot of people money.
I beat the fuck out of him, Lise.
I got it all back.
All $30,000.
Every fucking dime.
- But it was your gun.
- Yeah.
And where is it now? I fucking cleaned it off and I left it there.
What do you mean you cleaned it off and you left it there? - It comes back to me, I say - Alvey, do you know how easy it is - to trace that back to you? - I say he fucking stole it.
The guy's a fucking thief, right? He committed suicide.
He did it.
You should've fucking seen him, too.
He smiled right at me.
He smiled.
Like he solved a problem.
Fuck.
Sometimes I think maybe you guys are better off without me at this point.
I missed all the years I could've made a difference.
Mom We need you in different ways now.
Do we? Yes.
Can you think of one thing you've done for us today? Hey.
What? I can't.
Can you think of one thing you've ever done for us? You're absolutely right.
We don't need you.
Hey.
Still, Jay shot himself full of your heroin Nearly fucking killed himself Just to try to get through to you.
Did that even bother you? It broke my heart.
Yeah.
Not enough to stop.

Or get the fuck out of here.
'Cause I'm not gonna lose my brother over you.
Kenny's coming by for the interview tomorrow.

When I get scared, I-I-I get nuts.

Can you, um, water my plants for me? Every day.
This one is deluxe.
"While based on a 12-step program, we offer a variety including but not limited to yoga and meditation, acupuncture, art therapy" I don't want art.
Fuck art.
Art's off the list.
"Dialectical behavioral therapy.
" Very cutting edge.
We can't afford any of this.
We're just browsing.
But why? We're broke.
I don't have insurance.
You're not backing out of this.
I will find the money.
This is going to happen.
We're not gonna live like this anymore.
Oh.
Yeah.
You're gonna like this.
"Psychodrama.
Reclaim your natural human emotions.
" Sounds right up my alley.
Side mouth, side mouth.
Got it.
- Hey.
- Yo.
Did you get with Lisa? Yeah.
Can you handle it? I'm gonna be training, so you're gonna have to find someone.
How you feeling? I'm all right.
How you feeling? What's next? You're the coach.
You tell me.
I want to start training.
I want to heal up and fight again.
Long term, what do you want? You ever think about getting married, having a family? No.
No? You're 23.
How do you know? Thought about going to school? Why can't you do both? I'm not going to school.
Why are we talking about this? I want you to think about your future.
What your life's gonna look like when all this is over.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Stay healthy, 10, 15 years, maybe.
Pfft! 10 years, you're You're a miracle.

Three years, dick money, you're broke before you're 30.
Thanks for the advice.
Can we talk about my next fight? You're a great athlete, Nate.
Thanks.
I don't know if you're a great fighter.
Because of two losses? Because I know you.
And the difference between good and great is immense.
It's it's a fucking hundred miles.
I could beat anybody in this gym right now.
Fucking anybody in here.
I'm not talking about ability.
It's a mind-set.
It's a mental fucking illness that I don't see in you, son.
You're not that animal.
I've been injured.
You're missing my Yeah, what's your fucking point? Because right now, all I'm hearing You don't think I can fight? I'm on the good side of this.
Most guys my age are broke or dead.
I want more for you.
Okay? You don't have to.
Do better than me.
Yeah.
I'm gonna go train now.
I tell my guys to identify their fear.
Seek it out.
Run straight through it.
Take its power, make it your own.
And then move on.
Direct confrontation.
It's the only way to survive.
Fear's a killer.
I used to hate being backstage before the walkout.
That's when the nerves would hit.
That's 'cause you think you have a choice, Kenny.
When that cage door closes and that bolt drops, life gets real simple.
You got to fight.
Now, you may not win.
You may take a beating.
But that's just pain, right? The fear is gone.
You have clarity of purpose.
That's a beautiful thing.
So, you've won as a fighter, you've won as a coach.
Which is more satisfying to you? Oh, man.
Fighting.
You kidding me? Really? Not even close.
Even after all these years? Yeah.
I mean, you're talking the difference between experience and observation, right? You got guys out there like Jackson.
He loves the puzzle and the theory of it, right? That's a demon that he's chasing.
And I respect that.
Me, I want to be in the pocket, man.
'Cause when you're fighting, you're on a higher plane.
And that's when instinct and flow takes over.
You overcome the panic of anxiety.
And your mind goes really, really quiet.
Not still.
Just quiet.
I chase that every fucking day.
